Instead of forcing "HIGH-DPI on the IDE, wouldn't it be better to use SVG-ImageLists for the toolbar-icons and menu-icons, and for all other IDE-components have a user-configuration for the font-sizes? It would be so easy!

Isn't it time to undock the Designer from the rest of the IDE?

Does anybody know what the CODENAME for 10.5 will be? Maybe "LUNARBASE" or "DARKSIDEOFTHEMOON"?

They write: "High DPI IDE Support". Is that meant for the WHOLE IDE or only for parts of the IDE?

It has some tiny rendering errors with some very complex SVG documents. But it is easy to use for Icon-List purposes. For Embarcadero it would be perfect. As I said, the effort for Embarcadero would be minimal.

Is this a request to Embarcadero to use SVGIconImageList for the IDE toolbar-icons instead of the stone-age 16x16 Pixel-ImageLists? Will Embarcadero hear the request? BTW, all the icons Embarcadero uses for the IDE toolbar-icons are also available as SVG icons. So the effort to switch to scalable icons would be MINIMAL!

In the Delphi 10.4.2 Source Editor, when hovering the mouse pointer over a Property Identifier, the Property Name and the unit where it's declared are shown in a popup. In this screenshot, the mouse pointer is hovering over "Text": Is it possible to also show the TYPE in this popup? (In this case, that would be "TCaption").

I want MORE: I want FREELY SCALABLE icons!

What could be done to visually optimize this strange dialog UI:

Is this what everyone else has in Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Embarcadero\BDS\21.0\Theme:

Why so many developers have a deep love for TINY LITTLE BOXES and refute to make functional dialogs? (When thinking about little boxes, this wonderful folk-song came to my mind): )

BTW, what does "Convert to const" mean? And yes, you could put the labels above the edit fields (as Thomas suggested). Which is a common UI suggestion. What is the difference between theory and practice?

Dear Uwe, yes please add some extra space and put the labels above the edit-fields. Correct the UI bugs made by the previous author.

That's a very good idea! But HOW MUCH above the edit field? And should the Label.Layout be tlTop, tlBottom, or tlCenter?

In TNumberBox, it seems not possible to set a unit suffix like "pixel", "cm" or similar. Or did I miss something?

Have you tried deleting the .DPROJ file and then reopening the .DPR project file?

But Error Insight is a PRODUCTIVITY FEATURE!

I suspect it neither uses GAS! 😱

Since Error Insight now finally works flawlessly, what's the reason for turning off Error Insight? The Mercedes dashboard also warns you if the oil level or the air pressure in the ties goes too low or if you are running out of gas.

The Editor now shows the Error Insight information for the current unit in the Status Bar: This is very nice and useful! Thank you, Embarcadero! Suggestion: Optionally, why not have the Error Insight information shown for the WHOLE PROJECT in the Status Bar? If I want to see the Error Insight information only for the current unit, I can always look at the Structure Panel! What do you think about this idea?

Using in Delphi 10.4.2 on Windows 10 x64 with 2 4K displays. 1. The Source Indexer Search Result List uses a microscopically small font on my display. Please add an option to set the font-size and font-name of the Source Indexer Search Result List! 2. When a file in the Source Indexer Search Result List is selected or even only the Expand Plus sign is clicked then it automatically opens in the IDE. This is very annoying. So the "Open Search match in IDE" button is useless? Please make the files not automatically open in the IDE on selection! 3. The result-format is: XYZ.pas in C:\XYZDir\XYZ.pas. This makes it difficult to look for a specific path. Please add an option to simply show the file-paths! Thank you!

In the current version 15.0.33, the font-size in the Source Indexer Search Result List is a little bit larger, but it should be possible to set the font-name! (Courier New would be easier to read for me). The other issues are still persisting.

I run GExperts r3446 in Delphi 10.4.2 on Windows 10 x64. I am trying out the new "Dock Window feature" which seems to be a godsend for me as a specific nested IDE panel is constantly changing its position on the second monitor. At first, it seems to work well (placed the Dock Window on the second monitor). However, the Dock Window and its panel docked into the Dock Window are not being restored after IDE restart, although I have saved everything in a specific IDE desktop and declared that IDE desktop as "default" and "startup". So how can I make the GEperts Dock Window and its content automatically restore after IDE restart?

Peace and easter eggs. When I have some time, I will look at the source code.

Having to RECREATE a Dock Window on each IDE session IS indeed useless. That would be the same as if you had to inflate your bike tires again each time before each ride on your bike.
